My Name Is Bond... James Bond
What do Roger Moore, Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan have in common? All of them have played the most coveted role of Ian Fleming's James Bond 007. Unfortunately, they have now hanged their sleeves and made way for the new James Bond: Daniel Craig.
Born in Chester, England, Daniel Craig was the son of Olivia and Timothy John. His mother is an art teacher while his father was a former midshipman in the Merchant Navy and took several jobs after landing on shore. While attending high school at Hilbre High School as well as Calday Grange Grammar School in West Kirby, Daniel Craig played rugby for the Hoylake Rugby Club. Afterwards, he transferred to London to take part at the National Youth Theatre after shortly staying at Calday.
Movie Career
After making his big screen debut as Alex West in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001, Daniel Craig's next assignment was Road to Perdition alongside Tom Hanks and Paul Newman. In the movie, he played the role of Connor Rooney, the son of an Irish mob boss, portrayed by Paul Newman.
In October 2005, Daniel Craig agreed to become the fifth James Bond by signing a five-film contract with EON Productions. After accepting the challenge of playing the spy, Craig's objective is to bring more emotional depth to the role. After a year, his first James Bond movie, Casino Royale, hit the theaters.
Today, Daniel Craig is considered as the highest paid British actor. His other movie credits include the Golden Compass, Munich, Sylvia, A Kid in King Arthur's Court, among others.
Casino Royale
This is the movie that started it all. James Bond goes on his first mission as a Double O agent. In his first mission after being recently promoted as a double 0 agent, James Bond competes in a high-stakes poker game initiated by Le Chiffre as part of his aim of recovering huge amount of his clients' money that he lost in a failed plot which Bond quashed.
The movie starts with James Bond designated to monitor a terrorist based in Uganda. However, the mission goes array and Bond decides to investigate which leads him to the terrorist network of Le Chiffre. The work of his organization would come to an end if Bond would beat him in a poker game.
Quantum of Solace
Quantum of Solace, the 22nd Bond film, picks up where Casino Royale left off. This time James Bond sets off to Italy in order to ruin the plans of Dominic Green, who is aiming to launch a coup d'etat in Bolivia and take control of its water supply.
If the theme of Casino Royale focused on terrorism, the aim of Quantum of Solace, on the other hand, is environmentalism.
After the movie, Daniel Craig gets good reviews as the best James Bond after Sean Connery.
Quantum on Video
Daniel Craig lends his face and character in Quantum of Solace The Video Game. Intended for users of PS3 and Xbox 360, this video game harnesses the high definition graphics capability of both systems in order to produce the best James Bond game in history.

Who is Bela Tarr?
By: Kasan Groupe | 14/12/2009One of the most interesting international filmmakers, Bela Tarr has created some of the most powerful images in film since Rainer Werner Fassbinder, an idol of Tarr’s. Growing up in Budapest in a working class family, Tarr originally wanted to be a philosopher but the strict Hungarian government would not allow Tarr to attend the Hungarian university after they learned of his short 8mm films. Tarr possibly saw this as a sign and threw himself headfirst into filmmaking.
